ENG 2322

College of Professional Studies

Project #4: Portfolio

Your syllabus includes the following information about your portfolio:

Portfolio: At the end of the semester, students will choose 2 of the essays they have written, substantially revise them, and, in an appendix, provide samples of process writing related to the two major papers. The portfolio should begin with an introduction that contextualizes the artifacts and accounts for any course outcomes not directly seen in the artifacts.

I will evaluate the papers you submit and assign a grade to the portfolio, which is worth 100 points, approximately 10% of your final grade for ENG 2322. The portfolio is your opportunity to showcase your best work. This is your time to shine! The portfolio will represent your work during the semester and should exemplify your ability to write, as well as revise and edit your own work. You should submit your entire portfolio in ONE Word document.

Portfolio Components:

· The portfolio should begin with an introduction that explains which two papers you chose and why. The document should also contain a statement about your writing strengths and weaknesses, as well as a plan to address your weaknesses as you continue to write college-level papers. Next, you should work to discuss whether you believe you have met the specific learning objectives for this course (see below). Finally, the introduction paper should contain a realistic assessment of your work – what grade do you think your portfolio deserves, and why?

Primary Learning Objectives

  

(1) Determine appropriate rhetorical techniques to apply   in response to rhetorical situations

 

(2) Use the writing   process to discover and reassess ideas

 

(3) Compose valid   arguments in multiple modalities

 

(4) Support   arguments with appropriate types of evidence

 

(5) Evaluate sources   for accuracy and authority 

 

(6) Navigate print   and digital repositories of information

 

(7) Use the   rhetorical situation to determine the appropriate citation system

 

(8) Describe how inquiry contributes to a life of   significance and worth

· After your introduction, you should include your two revised, polished essays that you have chosen to showcase from this course. As a reminder, your options are Project #1, Project #2, and Project #3. Because you have had the opportunity to write, identify errors, and correct them, you are expected to submit papers that are very clean and well written.

· After your two polished essays, you should include an appendix that contains the prewriting work that went into your two essays (e.g., brainstorming, journal entries, outlines, drafts, etc.). This appendix should show how your writing has been a process this semester. If you have handwritten any process work for your essays, you can take pictures of it and include those pictures in your Word document.

  

Writing Instructions

· Save your documents with your “Last Name Assignment Title” (EX: Smith Project #4).

· Assignments must use APA document formatting and citations.

Assignments must fulfill assignment requirements and be proofread to be graded   

Topic and Proposal

/in /by

 

Assignment Expectations: As part of your Research Project, the first assignment requirement expects students to write and submit a topic proposal.  Students must select a topic within the historical parameters of the course, History of the United States since 1865. Consider a person, event or idea that you want to learn more about within the context of this class. My suggestion is that you think about a topic that is related to your area of study at UMGC. You can also skim through the Learning Resources section of each week under Content in our LEO class site to get some ideas. Or you can continue scrolling to the end of this learning block for a list of ideas. The list provided is by no means exhaustive, just some ideas to get you started. You can also email your instructor for suggestions or help narrowing down a topic idea. Just note, as this project is one you’ll be living with for the term, you should find a topic that interests you before setting out on the project itself. 

Assignment Directions: Once you have selected a topic, students will need to write a short proposal for instructor approval. Your topic proposal should be typed in a word document, doubled spaced with a minimum word count of 100 words. In this proposal, students should explain what topic they selected and why. Your proposal must include a working thesis statement with the understanding that it may be slightly modified later in the research process. Should you have further questions about submitting this proposal, please do not hesitate to reach out to your instructor. 

Students should also make sure that their topic is not too broad. A topic on the Civil War or Salem Witch Trials is fantastic but might be a bit overwhelming as one gets further into research. Consider narrowing down your topic a bit. For instance, you might research medicine during the Civil War or the accusers involved in the Salem Witch trials. 

Submitting Your Work: Students can submit their work under Topic and Proposal directions. Click on this assignment, scroll to the bottom of the page where you see “Add Attachments,” and then attach assignment here. Students can also submit this assignment through the Assignment tab. Students will also see the rubric attached to this assignment. Please make sure to review the rubric before submitting your final draft.

Reforms in Healthcare and Role of Nursing Practitioner

The United States is among the few nations in the world with arguably the most complex healthcare system in terms of funding and nurses to patient ratio. The US expenditure is more than any other country on healthcare services. It currently spends about 2.5 times the average of the other countries with high incomes (Brom, Salsberry & Graham, 2018). Different administrations that have been there before made various steps towards reforming healthcare.

One major reform was the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) during President Obama’s administration (Brom, Salsberry & Graham, 2018). The ACT has helped millions of poor Americans to access quality healthcare. However, the increasing number of patients seeking healthcare through ACA has surpassed the number of nurses therefore exacerbating the shortage of nurses in the US (Brom, Salsberry & Graham, 2018). The idea to fund the training of more nursing practitioners through programs like Graduate Nurse Education is important since it will continue to fill in the gap of the physician shortage.

One major shortcoming of ACA is that it depends on commercial health insurance coverage. Health insurance providers are still trying to increase profits rather than improve the care facilities required or expand empathy and caring, both for-profit and non-profit (Contandriopoulos et al., 2016). The central role of these firms is to collect deposits, pay bills and advertisement fees, which typically absorb between 20% and 25% of premiums, along with revenues (Contandriopoulos et al., 2016). ACA constitutionally restricts this duplication and ineffectiveness at 20 percent (Contandriopoulos et al., 2016). This means that health insurance firms will invest an infinite amount of money in administrative care and structured profit administration.

Finally, the use of data in the healthcare sector is among the reforms that have influenced the role of nurses. Since ACA put more pressure on nurses to perform better by having great results in the delivery of quality care, nurses can achieve great outcome if they make use of data generated by the healthcare system (Contandriopoulos et al., 2016). Meaningful data assist nurses in making a sound decision that improves healthcare that is evidence-based.

 PLEASE FOLLOW RUBRIC

Students will select a vignette about a family with a child who is eligible to receive early intervention services. Students will complete a blank IFSP form will all relevant information based on the case of Kim. You can add in any information that may not be addressed in the case study. You can save the document as a Word Doc on your PC and upload it to the dropbox once it is completed (5 points).

Students are then required to determine the family’s resources, priorities, and concerns and then generate long-term outcomes (functional goals) and short-term goals for the IFSP. Furthermore, students will write a separate narrative including the following points:

Based on the information students have about the family, they will list their resources, priorities, and concerns related to enhancing the child’s development. Students will write two long-term outcomes (functional goals) for the child and family. This is a statement of what the family would like to see happen as a result of early intervention services. The outcomes may be developmental goals for the child or be related to the family’s ability to enhance the child’s development. The outcome must be functionally stated, in family terms and measurable. (5 points)

For each long-term outcome, students will write three short-term goals. Short-term goals are building blocks that lead to the achievement of the long-term outcome.

You mention the ways of searching and importance of finding peer reviewed, scholarly articles.  How do you best determine what search engines to use to find these articles?  Is google.com a good way to search?  Why or why not?

  

Searching for evidence that can improve nursing outcomes

Improving nursing outcomes is essential in nursing practice. Setting up the levels of care provision helps in improving the quality of nursing care delivered and patient’s outcomes. Nursing outcomes, however, can be enhanced through theoretical viewpoints. The theoretical approach can offer adequate information that nurses require to enhance their practice skills and knowledge. Searching for evidence is often not easy; it is quite a challenging task that requires good skill sets. I will search for articles that are up to date and peer-reviewed. However, the most critical aspect is to ensure that the article has adequate information that can be used to enhance nursing practice decisions and skill set. The chosen article explains how nurses can incorporate evidence into a newly designed unit to improve patient’s outcomes. 

Concerning evidence integration, the article elaborates the need to incorporate well-understood ideas form research into practice. In aspects of nursing, education and science, the impact of evidence-based practices (EBP) resonated. The call for improved care and clinical improvement based on evidence underscores the need for safe, healthy and productive care redesign. In line with the numerous guidelines of national experts, initiatives have been implemented which maximize significant contributions which the caregiver should, should and will make in order to fulfil the EBP commitments fully. These initiatives include the introduction of realistic programs and curricula for training and reform, the theoretical models and innovations and the creation of a national research improvement network for research in new areas of technology and science. 

The chosen article was prepared by Tafelmeyer, Wicks, Brant, & Smith (2017). It is a recent article that approves the integration of evidence into clinical nursing practice. The article targets nurses who are situated in newly built nursing departments. However, it can be generalized under nursing practice as its information addresses all aspects of nursing practice. It expresses its point clearly and concisely through which all nurses can well understand and object to implement into their actual nursing practice. Sources used to cite the article appear very credible and citable. When sharing evidence, I can think of creating posters, presentations and paper distributions. I can put up stickers like reminders that I can put on the work fridge, on walls containing information and reminders as to what nurses are supposed to implement but in a concise manner.

Moreover, I can prepare presentations and give them in the form of fliers and magazines that individuals can read in their own free time. Besides, I can choose to share the information on social media where most of my colleagues are found. I can also create a website where all required information on improving nursing outcomes can be found and also where my colleagues can also post as well as retrieve necessary documents. Finally, I can seize an opportunity during nurse team meetings to present my ideas on how to enhance nursing practice for better and improved patient outcomes.

Proofreading Website: What Can You Find In One?

/in /by

 Proofreading website: Are there any measures to ensure that you submit special reports for any online document that you’ll handle? Below, we will look at some to ensure that you can manage your documents without any difficulties. Read on to know more about that!

How to Proofread Your Documents

When writing any paper, you must be ready to countercheck the final copies and present recommendable reports. Often, individuals fail to proofread their documents because they didn’t have enough time to do so. Materials on  https://rankmywriter.com/samedayessay-com-review  helps a lot to be able to countercheck the final copies and present recommendable reports.

There are measures you can take to ensure that you can manage your papers without difficulties. They include:

1. Proper planning

Proper planning is the beginning of success. Nothing guarantees success. Be quick to set enough time when managing your academic or professional documents. Many times, individuals fail to have a planner, and they end up presenting unworthy reports.

It might be of help when you develop a planner. Doing so will allow you to write your papers and proofread them without any difficulties.

When you have a clear outline for your paper, you can start to write your copy without any difficulties. Besides, you’ll be able to learn the proper format for writing your copy. If you develop a proper style, you can proofread the final report with ease.

2. Research

Researching is an easy way of finding relevant information to include in your proofreading website. Luckily enough, you can secure enough information to include in the website. Besides, you’ll come across sample copies that can guide you through the entire writing process.

It helps a lot to be in a position to handle every section in your documents correctly. If you can proofread the entire document by yourself, there are higher chances that you won’tface any mistakes when writing. That would be horrible!

Through research, you can detect if the theme in your paperwork is relevant to your particular subject. From there, you can develop an exciting story in your writing. Remember, you must prove that your work is relevant. As such, you’ll need relevant data to include in the reports. When you research, you can secure sources with valid data to support the theme in your paperwork.

Follow writing rubric that has been uploaded  

use this information to revise and do not copy and paste 

The organization I who issues I will discuss is G4S Security Company. The company is known

nationwide, but I work under the Altria account at Phillip Morris manufacturing plant. The issue I have observed is the lack of professionalism with management throughout the contract. Being unprofessional can be the way you dress, punctually, time off from work, organization skills, communication skills, and their attitude towards the employees. The company expects employees to be professional and respectful to the client, supervisors, and co-workers. But they do not demonstrate those same qualities. The supervisors of this company lack enough skills to provide the best security training services to the employees. Therefore, it has become a task for the organization’s management to evaluate the best candidate.

The primary cause of this issue is associated with inadequate supervisors who select unprofessional security personnel. To obtain the best individuals for the position is to monitor how they perform during training. That is difficult because management lacks the professional skills to recognize and hire qualified employees. Supervisors do not consider the applicants based on their skills in action and not based on a test that makes it hard to find the most qualified applicants.

If professionalism is not exhibited, it can hinder the morale of their employees. Also, it can destroy the lines of communication. Unprofessionalism can cause workers to leave the company,

and employees will start missing work often, and that would require others to do mandatory overtime because of a shortage of workers. The employees lose respect for management because of their lack of loyalty to senior officers and lack of empathy to an officer having personal issues and need time off. If employees are dissatisfied, the company can lose the contract.
